I feel one must know what they believe and why they believe it.
Yet many of us here disagree with other brothers and sisters on some issues, this is no big secret here.
But what can we agree on.
Here are some things for starters.
1.The Bible is infallible
2.Only the shed blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse from sin.
3.The Divinity of Christ and the belief in the divinity of Christ is foundational for Proper Biblical Faith.
4.It's normative for believers to recieve the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the physical evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the uttereance.
5.Holiness is essential for living a Christian life.
Ok these are just some for starters, what can we agree on ?

No matter how stanuch the position:
Oneness.
Trinity.
Baptism
Acts 2:38
Matt 28:19
Repentance, Baptism and HG
Sinners Prayer
Music
No Music
Minister

Women to minister
No women to minister
Water
Sprinkling
My organization

standards of dress, dressed up as holiness
no standards, but modesty
Falling away
Once saved always saved
Soul Sleep
off to heaven at the last closing of your eye's
Pre-trib
mid-trib
post-trib
no-trib
Rapture
No Rapture
Melchisedec was God
Melchisedec was not God
The list could fill a concordance of Pentecostal twist.
But the one thing all these men will rally around and use the same scriptures in exactly the same way and order. Are the scriptures on Tithing.
That is why we all can listhen to any one of these men regardless of affiliation, Godhead belief, salvation plan, prophecy understanding etc.
Tithing is the music of the Christian world.
Don't think I am against the principle.
My thoughts to this generation of Pulpit Rappers.
Start convincing yourself who Christ really is with the same fever you teach smart money.
Teach us with that same convincing spirit who Christ is and the path we need to follow to him by way of the cross.
That is why the world see's religion through the planes of the $$$$ sign.
